MDPE.8:2.3 - Recover the Work and Method that matter
Name the bounded Work whose result can change the decision and the domain Method it enacts. Distinguish:
- the performing Agent from non-agentive instruments, software, records, and other participating Systems;
- a reusable Method from its MethodDescription and from dated Work;
- performance Work from engineering or inquiry Work that changes or studies the practice;
- simultaneous contribution at several holonic scales from a temporal or logical unfolding inside one Method;
- capability-development Work from later Work in which capability is exercised; and
- enabling or build-the-builder Work from the performance it later enables.
Use Systems Engineering when the changed subject is an engineered performer, instrument, interface, venue, platform, school, archive, or other selected System. Use Method Engineering when the changed subject is a Method, Method family, MethodDescription, Method base, enactment support, or Method trial. This pattern adds the Music-and-Dance distinctions and receiving decision; it does not repeat the general engineering Method.
